Childrens Classics - Six Book Deal

Six timeless classic children's stories from Wordsworth Editions, sure to evoke fond memories and perfect for introducing children to literature.

Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll - This edition contains Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass. It is illustrated throughout by Sir John Tenniel, whose drawings for the books add so much to the enjoyment of them. Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen and the White Rabbit all make their appearances, and are now familiar figures in writing, conversation and idiom. So too, are Carroll's delightful verses such as The Walrus and the-Carpenter and the inspired jargon of that masterly Wordsworthian parody, The Jabberwocky.

Anne of Green Gables & Anne of Avonlea by L. M. Montgomery - When Matthew and MariIla Cuthbert apply to an orphanage for a boy to help on their farm, Green Gables, they are astonished when a loquacious little girl steps off the train instead. Anne, redheaded, pugnacious and incurably romantic, causes chaos at Green Gables and in the village, but her wit and good nature delight the fictional community of Prince Edward Island, Canada, and ensure that Anne of Green Gables continues to be a firm favourite with readers worldwide.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Glinda of Oz by L. Frank Baum - In the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a huge cyclone transports the orphan Dorothy and her little dog Toto from Kansas to the Land of Oz, and she fears that she will never see Aunt Em and Uncle Henry ever again. But she meets the Munchkins, and they tell her to follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City where the Wonderful Wizard of Oz will grant any wish.

Peter Pan & Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens by J. M. Barrie - The magical Peter Pan comes to the night nursery of the Darling children, Wendy, John and Michael. He teaches them to fly, then takes them through the sky to Never-Never Land, where they find Red Indians, wolves, Mermaids and Pirates.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett - Mary Lennox was horrid. Selfish and spoilt, she was sent to stay with her hunchback uncle in Yorkshire. She hated it. But when she finds the way into a secret garden and begins to tend it, a change comes over her and her life.

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame - Rat, Mole, Badger and the preposterous Mr Toad, have brought delight to many through the years with their odd adventures on and by the river, and at the imposing residence of Toad Hall.
